Preface

The Encyclopedia of Complexity and System Science is an authoritative single source for understanding and applyingthe basic tenets of complexity and systems theory as well as the tools and measures for analyzing complex systemsin science, engineering and many areas of social, financial and business interactions. It is written for an audience ofadvanced university undergraduate and graduate students, professors, and professionals in a wide range of fields whomust manage complexity on scales ranging from the atomic and molecular to the societal and global. Each article wasselected and peer reviewed by one of our 36 Section Editors with advice and consultation provided by our 15 BoardMembers and Editor-in-Chief. This level of coordination assures that the reader can have a level of confidence in therelevance and accuracy of the information far exceeding that generally found on the World Wide Web. Accessabliltyis also a priority and for this reason each article includes a glossary of important terms and a concise definition of thesubject.

Complex systems are systems that comprise many interacting parts with the ability to generate a new quality of col-lective behavior through self-organization, e. g. the spontaneous formation of temporal, spatial or functional structures.They are therefore adaptive as they evolve and may contain self-driving feedback loops. Thus, complex systems aremuch more than a sum of their parts. Complex systems are often characterized as having extreme sensitivity to initialconditions as well as emergent behavior that are not readily predictable or even completely deterministic. The conclu-sion is that a reductionist (bottom-up) approach is often an incomplete description of a phenomenon. This recognition,that the collective behavior of the whole system cannot be simply inferred from the understanding of the behavior ofthe individual components, has led to many new concepts and sophisticated mathematical andmodeling tools for appli-cation to many scientific, engineering, and societal issues that can be adequately described only in terms of complexityand complex systems.

Examples of Grand Scientific Challenges which can be approached through complexity and systems science include:the structure, history and future of the universe; the biological basis of consciousness; the true complexity of the geneticmakeup and molecular functioning of humans (genetics and epigenetics) and other life forms; human longevity limits;unification of the laws of physics; the dynamics and extent of climate change and the effects of climate change; extendingthe boundaries of and understanding the theoretical limits of computing; sustainability of life on the earth; workingsof the interior of the earth; predictability, dynamics and extent of earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters;dynamics of turbulent flows and the motion of granular materials; the structure of atoms as expressed in the StandardModel and the formulation of the Standard Model and gravity into a Unified Theory; the structure of water; control ofglobal infectious diseases and also evolution and quantification of (ultimately) human cooperative behavior in politics,economics, business systems and social interactions. In fact, most of these issues have identified nonlinearities and arebeginning to be addressedwith nonlinear techniques – e. g. human longevity limits; the StandardModel; climate change,earthquake prediction, workings of the earth’s interior, natural disaster prediction, etc.

The complex systems mathematical and modeling tools and scientific and engineering applications that comprisethe Encyclopedia of Complexity and Systems Science are as follows:

The 15 members of our Editorial Advisory Board include: Ahmed Zewail of Caltech, Nobel Prize in chemistry, whoprovided guidance in chemistry and physical biology applications of complexity and systems science; Thomas Schelling,Nobel Prize in Economics, provided guidance in economics and political science applications; Mario J. Molina, NobelPrize in Chemistry, whose current interests include: atmospheric chemical processes and science-policy issues relatedto urban and regional air pollution and to global change; Manfred Eigen, Nobel Prize in Chemistry, who is expertin molecular self-organization and evolutionary biotechnology; Benoit B. Mandelbrot of Yale University and BattellePacific Northwest Laboratories, Wolf Prize for Physics, who provided guidance in physical, mathematical or social phe-nomena that are characterized by abundant data but wild variability; Richard E. Stearns, 1993 Turing Award, whose cur-rent interests include computational complexity, automata theory, analysis of algorithms and game theory; Pierre-LouisLions, 1994 Fields Medal, whose interests are nonlinear partial differential equations and applications; Leroy Hood ofthe Institute for Systems Biology, Lasker Award, whose specialty is systems approaches to biology and medicine; StevenWolfram, creator of Mathematica®; and Lotfi Zadeh, Honda and Okawa Prizes and IEEE Medal of Honor, whose cur-rent interests are fuzzy logic and soft computing. Sadly, Paul Lauterbur, Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology, whoprovided guidance in evolution and origin of life and overall relationship of determinism to complexity passed awayduring the project. A complete listing of our Board is presented immediately following this Preface.

Our 36 Section Editors, who supervised the 35 Sections, represent some of the best and brightest in their respectivefields. It is notable that some are rather young, and yet are highly accomplished, as seems appropriate for the verymodern scientific approach inherent in complexity and systems science. The Section Editors have selected both thearticles (described below) and also nominated our authors and either provided peer review or supervised outside peerreviewers. A complete listing of the Section Editors is presented immediately following this Preface.

Preface VII

The efforts of the 41 members of our Board and Section Editor team have resulted in near 300 articles on the math-ematical and modeling basis of complexity, e. g. fractals and multifractals, cellular automata, game theory, quantuminformation processing, unconventional computing, ergodic theory, percolation, non-linear ordinary differential equa-tions, non-linear partial differential equations, perturbation theory, probability and statistics, solitons, wavelets, agentbased modeling and simulation, complex networks and graph theory, data mining and knowledge discovery, granularcomputing and soft computing; as well as near 300 articles describing progress using these tools in physics, economet-rics, ecosystems, climate prediction, nanoelectronics, complex networks, quantum computing, chemistry, astrophysics,geophysics, systems biology, bioinformatics, medicine, system dynamics, engineering, control and dynamical systems,traffic management, and robotics as well as social, economics and political sciences.

This Encyclopedia in total comprises 592 peer-reviewed, in-depth, 15–20 page articles presented alphabetically asprepared by more than 700 authors. The result is a carefully organized, accessible, and easily searchable 11,000-pagereference work that places complexity and systems science at the center of modern scientific, engineering, and societalproblems and potential solutions. A complete alphabetized listing of articles, extensive cross-references, glossaries ofterms, and a detailed index are all included. We believe that there is no other treatment of this field with near thedepth and authority of that prepared by our team of prize winning Board members, Section Editors and authors. Thisnew publication will extend the influence of complexity and systems science to a much wider audience than has beenpossible up until now.

Acknowledgments
